English at UCF... and beyond.

I’m looking into UCF and FSU for English majors, but I’m really disappointed by the lack of diversity of majors within the English dept at UCF.

Has anyone been involved with English majors at UCF? I’m a bit worried. I love writing, editing, and incorporating it with modern-day media (which is why FSU’s “Editing, Writing, & Media” major seemed like a perfect fit).

I have my sights set on UNC Chapel Hill for grad school, but will UCF adequately prepare me for such a competitive school? I’m planning on living there for a year to get the in-state tuition. As you can guess, finances are a concern, and saving money is great. However, with my calcualtions, I’d be paying about the same for FSU and UCF; I would just be 5 hours from home at FSU, as opposed to a short drive if I lived on campus at UCF.

I’m interested in minoring in poli sci and/or graphic design, if any of you know about those programs.
